Description
The Admin Custom Login plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Admin Custom Login plugin allows an authenticated attacker with administrator permissions to place arbitrary scripts in the "Message Above Login Form" setting. These scripts are stored and executed every time a user visits a page that includes the setting, providing the attacker with a persistent cross‑site scripting vector that can be used for defacement, session hijacking, or other malicious actions performed in the context of the victim’s browser.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability exists in weblizar’s Admin Custom Login plugin for WordPress, affecting all releases up to and including version 3.6.4. It is only exploitable on multi‑site WordPress installations where the unfiltered_html option has been disabled and where users with administrator‑level roles can modify the "Message Above Login Form" setting.

Risk and Exploitability

With a CVSS score of 4.4 the issue is considered low severity. No EPSS score is available, and the vulnerability is not yet listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The likely attack vector is local: an attacker must first gain administrator access to modify the plugin setting. Once the script is stored, any user who views the affected page will be exposed to the injected code. The overall risk depends largely on the presence of trusted administrators and the configuration of the mult-site setup.
